Dale bought a map of his city.it uses a scale of 1 inch = 8miles. dales house and school are 1 1/2 inches apart on the map. how far apart would his house
and school be on the map if the scale were 1 inch = 6 miles
1 inch=8 miles so if you had x miles on the scale then it is 8 times x mils in real ife
so you are trying to find acutal milage and then convert it to other map of 6 miles per inc distance=1 and1/2 inches multiply by 8 1 and 1/2 times 8=8+4=12
so the acual distance is 12 miles
then we convert it 6 miles=1 in divide by 6 1 mile=1/6 inch 12 miles=1/6 inch itmes 12=12/6=2 2 inches
